Chain Restaurants

There are a few major chain restaurants both in the United States and in Europe with food challenges that have so many locations that it would be way too hard for FoodChallenges.com to keep track of, and some locations host the food challenge while other locations do not. If any of these restaurants have locations near you, please contact the specific restaurant to find out whether or not they host the particular challenge:

There are hundreds of Buffalo Wild Wings locations throughout the United States, and most of them host The Blazin’ Wing Challenge which requires customers to eat 12 wings covered in their spiciest Blazin’ Sauce in less than 6 minutes without drinking anything. Customers must pay for the wings whether they win or lose, but winners usually receive their photo on the location’s Wall Of Flame along with a free shirt or headband.

Wings Etc has locations throughout Indiana along with restaurants in Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and North Carolina. The challenge is to eat 16 “Wall-Sauced” jumbo wings with no beverage or other food item. If you finish all 16 wings, you still must pay for them, but you get a Polaroid photo up on the Wall Of Flame.

There are many locations throughout the eatern half of the United States, and most of them host The Triple Atomic Wing Challenge. Customers must eat 6 wings covered in their Triple Atomic Sauce without drinking any liquids during the challenge. Winners must still pay for the wings but they get their name and picture up on the Wall Of Fame along with a free shirt. Some locations award a free Quaker bumper sticker too.

There are many Tom + Chee locations all around the eastern half of the United States. There challenge is to finish 13 of their delicious grilled cheese donuts in less than 10 minutes. Winners get the $50 meal FREE!!

There are many Max & Erma’s locations throughout 9 different states of the USA, and some of them offer some kind of challenge involving their 4lb Landfill Burger. The Landfill Burger consists of three 10 ounce hamburgers layered with pepper jack, Swiss, and cheddar cheeses, topped with Erma’s Chili, jalapenos, ham, pulled pork, bacon, sauteed mushrooms, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Each location that offers the challenge seems to have their own set of “house rules” so check with your nearest location to find out whether they offer the challenge and what the rules are. Some locations award the meal free, and some just give you a free shirt, and then other locations do both. Some locations just have it as a menu item, & others don’t have it at all.

If you can successfully finish one of FatBurger’s XXXL burgers, you will win a Certificate Of Completion along with a spot on the location’s Wall Of Fame.

Competitive eating and food challenges is generally called dangerous, gluttonous, wasteful, unhealthy, and promoting obesity. This ignorance stems from the fact that people have very little knowledge, awareness, and understanding of the sport. When people are ignorant, they are quick to criticize and judge the sport and the people involved with it. We are here to change that, and need your help!!
